AN: Hey guys! I actually have the next two letters in this one….Then, I will have two or three chapters max after! Hope you like this one!
Allison had pondered it all morning. Today was the day of the next letter. She didn't want to spoil Remy's fun quite yet, but she knew that she was going to do it soon. She walked up to the doctor's lounge as per usual to get some caffeine. She passed Thirteen—Right on schedule—and waved, "Hey Thirteen." She said as she passed.
"Hey Cameron." Thirteen was going to continue on, but…
Allison had to do something to change the plan a little, "You know?" Allison stopped and turned around, "We should hang out sometime…" She gave the brunette a look, "Like go get a drink or something. It just seems wrong to just be each other's 'Hey' girls and maybe talk on the way out…" Allison crossed her arms.
Thirteen stared at her, "That would be very, very nice." OH FUCK! I just said that like Chandler in 'The One When Everyone Finds Out'…I swear if she watches 'Friends' she's gonna know, that I know, that she knows that it was me! Shit fuck mother suck! Keep it cool! Thirteen kept her composure the whole time too!
Allison eyed her, She kinda sounded like Chandler in 'The One When Everyone Finds Out'…I wonder if she watches 'Friends'… she thought before she continued, "Alright…Well, I still have your number from that time I was asked to watch over House as well for Cuddy, and mine's the same too…Assuming you still have it?" She asked.
Remy nodded, "Yuh huh."
Allison laughed, "Alright. Well, I'll see ya around."
Remy nodded again then turned and walked away…to the ER head's office.
Allison smirked in accomplishment before entering the lounge. She took her time, letting the brunette have plenty of time to get in and out before she went back to her office. When she got there, she saw her next letter.
Dr. Allison Cameron,
You never cease to throw me off course. You never cease to amaze me. I think that that's the main reason I am so unbelievably attracted to you… I mean, as I've already told you, and as I'm sure you knew prior, you are beautiful… But the thing with you is that you are both beautiful and brilliant. You're not 'Beauty and Brains' you're 'Beauty and Brilliance'—there's a difference.
That difference is that with brains, yes you're smart. Sure, more and more beautiful women are proving stereotypes wrong each day, but that's just not you. See… You are bright, brainy, beautiful—and I've run out of B words so no more alliteration—witty, sarcastic, surprising… See, you exceed just being smart. You exceed at everything, and the best part is you don't mean to for most of that list—I mean, who would work at being smart, but all the other stuff?...That's au natural. That's just you. That's what truly amazes me about you…just…you. You are brilliance..beautiful brilliance. I won't lie to you, ever since our last couple conversations, I have not been able to stop thinking about you… Well actually since I saw you the night I saw you at the bar I have not been able to stop thinking about you, but I haven't tried to stop since the talking.
I guess the essence of this letter is just telling you that you have me wrapped around you pinkie finger…
Your Secret Admirer
Allison was grinning ear to ear…who wouldn't be after being gushed over like that? She didn't even think as she answered her phone, "Hello?" She rolled her eyes at herself for not checking the number, "Hi mom…Yes, we are still on for ThanksChristmas." Allison and her family the past few years hadn't been able to celebrate Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving. The whole Thursday thing didn't really work for them or her. They always tried to get together the first weekend of December…that way they were able to celebrate Thanksgiving AND Christmas..hence ThanksChristmas. "Why wouldn't we be?...Well, I made sure to not be on call, so there's no reason I wouldn—Alright…OKAY Mom I will! No worries. Tell Daddy 'Hi' for me. Okay." She rolled her eyes, "Okay. Bye mom." She hung up, "I need a fuckin' drink." She shook her head.
The rest of the week came and went and soon it was letter day. Remy was still in this confused state she had been in since she saw Allison at the bar. She knew she wanted her. She knew she wanted her for more than just one night, but she didn't know if she could give the blonde a relationship.
Allison had pondered it too. She knew she wanted Remy. And she knew she definitely wanted her for more than just one night..that would just be a crying shame if she only had her for one night after all of this. She knew that the brunette wanted her for more than one night as well. If she were honest with herself, she would just admit that she wanted a relationship…and she knew that Thirteen wanted one too. She knew that she was going to have to be quick on her feet today, both physically and mentally. She was going to have to stay three steps ahead of Thirteen.
Allison went upstairs towards the doctor's lounge. She saw Thirteen, "Hey Thirteen."
"Hey Cameron." Thirteen smiled and continued on.
Allison didn't stop her…her nerves were too on edge to have a conversation yet. Once she was absolutely positive Thirteen wasn't going to turn around, she darted towards the stairs. She was jumping down them almost four stairs at a time. She was impressed with how fast and coordinated she was as she ran. She got back to her office with a couple minutes to spare. She hurried to her desk and turned the chair around to Thirteen wouldn't notice her right off the bat.
She heard the doorknob wiggle. She heard the door open. She smirked—Man! All I need is a bunny to be stroking as I turn around. She grinned at this thought. Then she turned around as she her the shuffling towards her desk.
Remy's eyes bug out and her jaw drops a little, Busted! She thought as she tried to remember how to speak…and as she tried to think of a good lie, "Cameron…I was just..asked to put this on your desk."
"Now, now Remy," Allison liked that name rolling off her tongue, "you and I both know that's not true." She stood up, walking casually to shut and lock the door then turn back to the brunette doctor, "By the way…next time you try to seduce a woman, don't stalk her ass no matter how innocent you are trying to be…It's freaky. You also don't start Secret Admirer letters with, 'I know who you really are'…also freaky." She had walked up to Remy and wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck. Then, as she finished speaking, she looked down, took the note in Thirteen's hands and opened it.
She read the note…
Dr. Allison Cameron,
Working on Thanksgiving? I assume you're spending the holiday alone…
Look, we both know you know who I am. Meet me at my place at 8. We'll have a date, and not have to piss people off at restaurants that have to work on this the day we give thanks..
Yes, I'm still going to sign in this way..
Your Secret Admirer
The blonde looked up to Remy and touched her face, "I'll be there." She let her hand run all the way down between the brunette's breasts and to her hip. She winked before walking back to her chair.
"Yeah?" Remy asked.
"Yeah. I want to get to know you." Allison said.
"But you already know me, kind of…" Remy looked at her then away then at the blonde once more.
"Not intimately…" Allison looked up again. She gave the younger doctor a smile as if she were greeting her instead of making Remy's knees turn to jell-O. "That is what you wanted right? Me in your bed…Thirteen…you know what you look like..all you had to do was ask." She shrugged.
"But you were straight…" Remy pointed at her.
Allison looked to the side as if trying to remember, "I've been a lot of things in my life…straight? Yeah, that was never one of those things…" She clasped her hands and rested them on top of her desk. She looked off to the side, "Do you not remember two weeks ago? I told you straight—" She couldn't help laughing at her word choice, "Pardon the pun, but I told you straight that I was a lesbian…"
"Yeah—well!...Yeah, I do…" Remy looked down.
"So…you didn't and don't know who I really am…you just know I like women…Which is something I've known since I was your name." Remy looked completely confused, "Thirteen?" The blonde winked at her. She grinned, "Yeah…" Allison cocked her head to the side to size up Thirteen and to get the hair from her eyes. "I'm gonna give you two options here, Thirteen. Remy..if you don't mind I call you that."
Remy shook her head, "Not at all…"
"Now Remy, we can either have just a physical relationship in which I use you for sex, and aside from surgery or your patient dying or about to die, you are at my beck and call, be it here in the hospital or anywhere else…"
Allison paused for a moment, "Or." She paused again, "You can try this whole seducing me thing again, not stalk me, and actually court me in which the end result will be what I've already said plus emotions. It will be a real relationship, something that has scarred you for one reason or another and something I'm willing to be patient and work at if you are willing to try. And believe me when you do try, I'll change your life for the better." Allison leaned back in her chair and laced her fingers behind her head.
Remy eyed her, "You're a rather cocky bitch, you know that?" Remy stated with no malice..just as an observation.
"A cocky bitch…" Allison looked up as she leaned forward before, "That's an oxymoron if I've ever heard one." She looked to the side with a slight grin as she stood up, "My offer is running out. Pick one or the other by the time I get to that door or it's off the table and I'll pretend like this never happened." Allison walked to the door.
As Allison reached for the lock and the handle, Remy spoke, "I want the relationship. I'll probably fuck it up, but you intrigue me too much for just sex…so…I pick the relationship."
"This means no sleeping with other women." Allison raised her brows in warning, letting her hand rest on the doorknob and leaning against the door. "Or men."
"Oh, now you tell me." Remy said sarcastically. "No, I know…I still choose relationship…" She cocked her head and studied the blonde.
"Okay…what time do you get off work?" Allison asked as Remy walked towards her.
"7." Remy stopped a mere six inches in front of the blonde, trying to gain the upper hand for once in this entire conversation, but not getting it in the least.
"I'll be at your place at 7:30 then instead of 8." Allison said.
"For what?" Remy was still very close to Allison.
"I don't really have another phrase than, 'To get you into bed'…" Allison shrugged.
"But I picked relationship…" This woman was very confusing to Remy…she liked that.
"I know, but we both know that you just want sex and conversations…you don't want dates or anything…so that's what our relationship will be…sex and conversations in the comfort of our homes…and here." Remy looked shocked, "I'm not here to complicate your life, Remy." Allison said her first name again. "It's complicated enough, don't you think?"
Remy didn't respond to her last words. "I want to take you out." Those were not the words she or Allison thought she was going to say. But Remy decided to roll with it, "Yeah…I want to take you on a date…we'll see where the night takes us…" Remy realized it was still Thanksgiving, "Well, take you to my house for tonight for Thanksgiving, but tomorrow, I want to take you on a date." She said with finality. She leaned in and kissed her cheek. "Just be at my place at 8…and take a cab, I'll take you back to your place whenever you want to leave." She winked as she opened the door and left…finally gaining the upper hand.
Allison stood there with her hand on her hips, What the hell just happened?...Did she just win? She did. What a sneaky little ho… Allison smirked, My sneaky little ho now. She thought as she walked back to her desk and sat down.
AN: Well, hope you enjoyed it! OH! And completely unrelated aside from the lovely Jennifer Morrison, anyone watch the AMAs? I thought it was really funny that her and Matthew Morrison presented…and then when J-Lo won, there were two Jennifers on the stage and two Morrisons on the stage…I won't lie…it blew my mind a little bit—that could be because I haven't slept well in like a month, but who knows? Anyways…tell me what you think!
